Enfield Carers Centre is a local charity providing information, advice, training and other support services to people looking after someone who lives in Enfield.
Aims & activities
To improve the lives of carers in Enfield by championing their right to have choice about how their needs are met and to have a voice in shaping how services are developed for those they care for. We support Carers by providing training, information, a variety of support groups, counselling, complementary therapy and respite activities.
Enfield Carers Centre’s history
Enfield Carers Centre was first incorporated on the 8th February 2010. There was also a separate organisation supporting Mental Health Carers in Enfield, aptly named Enfield Mental Health Carers, which predated the centre by a number of years; incorporated on the 8th October 2001.
In September of 2013, these two organisations merged. This merger facilitated the introduction of a number of new projects such as Young Carers, Advocacy, Support and GP Liaison work for the benefit of all carers. A larger team also improved the Centre’s ability to perform outreach and establish partnership working to identify “hidden” carers, which resulted in an increase of carers being registered with the centre.
As the number of carers continues to increase the Centre gains more insights to the challenges faced by them allowing our team to take practical measures to support carers on a one to one basis; whilst also feeding back to the local authority and CCG regarding any apparent gaps in social/health provision.
The services offered by the Centre continue to grow, such as becoming the Trusted Assessors for providing Carers Assessments in Enfield, but our core intentions still remain the same. Identify Carers, let them know we are here and support them the best we can.
Our Funders
Enfield Carers Centre would like to acknowledge and thank all those who have provided funding and donations to enable us to continue our work supporting carers in Enfield. See more about our funders.
Our Delivery Partners
Enfield Carers Centre works with a range of organisations across all sectors in Enfield to ensure that carers voices are heard and their needs are taken into account.
We believe that it is important that carers are high on the agenda of the strategic planning and delivery of services across the borough and to do this we need to be visible and vocal. See more about our local partners.

Governance
What our Trustees Do
Trustees volunteer their time to oversee and monitor the work of the Centre. The managers at the centre make decisions to ensure that the day to day work of the Centre is achieved, however, major decisions cannot be made without approval from the Board of Trustees.
Some of our trustees have specific roles, such as governance (our Chair) and financial matters (our Treasurer). However, when there are big decisions to be made the board have to agree before any action can be taken; this ensures impartiality in how Enfield Carers Centre sets its strategic aims and manages its core funds.
We have a trustee information pack, a trustee application form or call us from more information.
